I know what Cythons purpose is. It’s to write compilable C extensions in a Python-like language in order to produce speedups in your code. What I would like to know (and can’t seem to find using my google-fu) is if Cython can somehow compile into an executable format since it already seems to break python code down into C.
I already use Py2Exe, which is just a packager, but am interested in using this to compile down to something that is a little harder to unpack (Anything packed using Py2EXE can basically just be extracted using 7zip which I do not want)
It seems if this is not possible my next alternative would just be to compile all my code and load it as a module and then package that using py2exe at least getting most of my code into compiled form, right?
In principal it appears to be possible to do something like what you want, according to the Embedding Pyrex HOWTO. (Pyrex is effectively a previous generation of Cython.)
Hmm… that name suggests a better search than I first tried: “embedding cython” leads to this page which sounds like what you want.
